Since I kept hearing some great things about this flick and I was really eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I actually ended up with some mixed feelings. I mean, I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and this movie was probably one of the best movies in this genre that I have seen a very long time. Indeed, the movie was really well directed and written and it featured two really strong performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Unfortunately, in my opinion, there were a few things that did prevent this movie to reach total awesomness. First of all, the way they went constantly back and forth to tell the story didn't really work for me. In my opinion, it was in fact an unoriginal and uninteresting gimmick which didn't add much to the story. Furthermore, I thought that Zooey Deschanel's character was in fact an obnoxious bitch and I wish this character would have been slightly more balanced. Still, even though I wasnโt completely sold by the whole thing, the story was so much better, realistic and entertaining than 99.9 % of all the romantic features produced by Hollywood, I really enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look.
